<yawn>.
Might as well get the G26, as it's that close in size, and have the double stack mag options, or the S&W Shield to keep the extra round.

Double yawn.
They'll sell a ton of them, because they are Glocks; but they should have done it years ago.

Another yawn, especially with the G42 ammo sensitivity issues.
I've carried the Glock 17 for many years. Have shot the G19 and the G26.
I couldn't really warm up to the G26, but the G19 seems like the best balance of everything. I've mulled doing the grip-chop on my 17, down to the 19 size.

I think that is the perfect combo MM. Unless you are carrying appendix the extra barrel length does nothing to compromise concealment.
I have tried the G26 and 27 a couple of times and it just never seems right.
Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.

well its not a joke I just logged onto glocks website and its front and center. I am disappointed, The main reason is weight.its 18 oz. I also feel they actually sized the gun to accept and later be a single stack 40 as well. I don't want or care about a 40 in fact 40 is less popular now that 9mm ammo has gotten so good in recent years.
Its also only 6 rounds. So far I think I am liking the shield better if I wanted a single stack. you get one extra round you also get the option of a safety if you want it. They really should have tried to get this gun down an extra 2 oz.
